Arithmetic · working shown

  1. The top two polled 69.8% of votes; the other 6 candidates 30.2% between them.

    (23,992 + 5,019) ÷ 41,554 = 69.8% · 12,543 ÷ 41,554 = 30.2%

  2. Turnout of 52.0% was 12.8 pp above the state's median seat (39.2%).

    52.0 − 39.2 = +12.8

  3. The margin widened from 21.6 pp in 1967 to 45.7 pp.

    45.7 − 21.6 = +24.1 pp

  4. The seat changed hands: JC in 1967, INC in 1971.
